Nominations closed for candidates for this year's general election on Friday afternoon and in Suffolk all eight constituencies will be contested by the five main parties.

In some constituencies there are more - in both Bury St Edmunds and the West Suffolk seat there is a choice of eight candidates standing.

Four members of the previous House of Commons from Suffolk are hoping to return and there will be at least four new members from the county.

In 2019 all seats in Suffolk were won by the Conservatives - but if opinion polls are to be believed that might not be the case this year.
